    How long does the "stall" last?

    I cook Pork butts the majority of the time and I have to wonder if your thermometer either in the meat or in the cooker is off? I used to get the stall around 160F for a few hours, but never that long.   Typically a 6-7lbs butt will take me 12 hours just about bone-in, a little under 10...

    Propane Smoker v. Charcoal Smoker

    I'll chime in on the side of "there's very little difference" I'm only talking about smoker though...side by side grilling, that's another story :) I have a charcoal smoker (ECB) and a propane smoker (Masterbuilt).   I just did my first pork butt in the gasser, I did a chicken a couple of...

    First pork butt of the season, with a new smoker - with q-view

    Hey fellow smokers! Finally got a chance to seriously use my new Masterbuilt Pro Dual vertical smoker on the weekend with a nice pork butt. I marinated overnight (almost 24 hours really) with a marinade I threw together: 1 1/2 cups of Banana/Orange juice (I was out of apple and improvised)...

    Masterbuilt propane smokers

    From my experience this Sunday, I'm not sure the foil pack would necessarily work. We had unexpectedly nice weather so I scrambled to season and get my MasterBuilt out there for a first smoke (I just got it) and I didn't have an old pan and for some stupid reason I didn't want to try the foil...

    A book on making sauces (and rubs)? Theory?

    Well I've been reading the Flavor Bible the last couple of days.  I gotta say it was worth the money. Overall impression is that it's a great reference book.  It gives a lot of ideas for combining flavors in different ways, beyond the classics too. I have a few specific impressions: The first...

    Salmon with other things in the smoker question

    Hi guys, The weather is finally halfway cooperating so this weekend I will be seasoning my new smoker (A Masterbuilt Pro dual smoker). I had planned to smoke a chicken sunday afternoon and we invited some friends over (smoking's better when shared right?).   Now my buddy's also excited about...

    A book on making sauces (and rubs)? Theory?

    I've been eyeing that one for a long while...I didn't really think it would help with sauces though (maybe rubs). I just splurged and picked up this and the BBQ Bible on my Kindle.   I was reading the reviews and I worry about the formatting a little but I just checked in the cloud reader and...

    A book on making sauces (and rubs)? Theory?

    Hey guys, I have a few BBQ books so far.  I have the KCBS 25th Anniversary Cookbook, I have Paul Kirk's Championship BBQ which I enjoy very much and a couple of others.  I plan to pick up the BBQ Bible soon. One thing I have been looking for is a book on developing flavors.  I love making my...

    the KettlePizza ? Anyone got one?

    Oh wow!  That's clever. Can't wait to show the wife.   That might be a good mod to make on my old grill.

    Masterbuilt propane smokers

    I just did the boiling water test on mine (haven't seasoned yet...just put it together last week) along with my new Maverick E-705 and another el cheapo no name thermometer and the door thermometer read 200F in the boiling water (held there for a few minutes).    Both my digitals read 212 and...

    Pulled Pork this Weekend Heavy QVIEW!

    Oh that sounds delicious! It could be just the thing I've been looking for.  I've played at making my own BBQ sauces but my wife has set some "challenges" for me.  No tomato base...which is fine.   The second is that she likes sweet sauces rather than spicy. Personally I like heat.  I love...
